I did a thing....again!

I just applied for another job! And this is one I could be hearing back from very soon! Wow. Tender mercy story:

So for the past two months, I've been extra worried about my financial situation. I've been in need of a new job since the pandemic. It's been difficult for me to know what I should do, let alone want to do, because I'm not qualified for much. I don't have a degree and I've never actually had a "real job." I applied for a Customer Support job about a month ago, but haven't heard back. I really loved the idea of being able to work from home with a somewhat flexible schedule. So I began researching "work from home online jobs." Everything that came up I was either under-qualified for or I chickened out and waited too long to apply and the job was gone. This last Sunday I fasted that I would be able to find a job that would suit my current situation and meet my needs and help me get financially situated. All week I've been looking at various jobs but nothing ever felt "right."

This morning I woke up feeling anxious and upset (for a variety of reasons; one of those being my finances) and knelt down to ask for help. I was inspired to read from the scriptures. As I read, I began to feel motivated. Which is a big deal because I haven't felt that way in a while. I began to feel inspired and ready to start taking action to make some much needed changes in my life. I knelt down again to thank my Father for this new found motivation and then went to check on job options. A new job came up that, when I read the description I felt really excited about! This is exactly what I was looking for! I prayed once more for the guidance and courage I needed to apply. I wrote a new cover letter, did a little research into the company, asked my dad's advice (which he responded "I think it's a great idea!") and then took a leap of faith! I submitted my poorly, under-qualified resume with my "this is why you should hire me though I have no experience in this field whatsoever" cover letter and then completed an automated "phone interview" where I had to verbally record my answers. By far my weakest point so hopefully they take pity on me, haha. Good preparation for an actual interview that could happen as early as Wednesday!!

I don't know if I'm going to get this job or not. I don't even know if I'll get an interview. But I feel really grateful for this tender mercy. It truly feels like an answer to prayer, not just a happy coincidence. We'll see what happens. It still hasn't fully sunken in yet and I'm already beginning to low-key panic over a potential "real interview." 😨😰😱😭 We'll cross that bridge when we get there...Once again, these songs gave me the motivation and courage to go for it! To "believe in myself no matter what it's going to take" to be "fearless" and to not let myself down! "It's not a question of whether you're ready, only of what you'll allow...everything in your life, it has brought you to NOW!" Music is my MOTIVATION!
